To land him she toys with the firm's general manager, Benjamin Franklin Whipple, a fop, declaring as she proceeds that she "will catch the rich Mr. Fish by using Whipple as the worm." In due time, however, all this diabolism is put aside in favor of wholesome matrimony with a sober leading man, thus proving yet again that cinema is sound at the core, even though occasionally amusing...
...bequest was made conditional upon the raising of an additional sum of $2,500,000 by citizens of Cincinnati-something which rich Cincinnatians hastened to pledge themselves to do last week. The Taft house, a fine old colonial mansion on Pike Street, will continue to house the newly bequeathed Taft collection, will be opened to the public after the death of Mr. & Mrs. Charles Phelps Taft. Their $1,000,000 bequest will be used to support the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra...
